ESPN's Buster Olney reports that the Yankees are "moving closer" to a deal with free agent outfielder Ichiro Suzuki.

It's not a big surprise, as Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reported Sunday that the Yankees would likely bring him back. Olney hears that a deal will likely be done within the next few days. Look for Ichiro to take a pretty steep paycut from the $17 million he made in 2012.
